1035 * New upstream version
1036 * Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems.
1037 * E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large
1038 s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs
1039 programs to crash when trying to open such a file system.
1040 * Fix e2fsck so that it can correctly fix a number of rare file system
1041 corruptions that were discovered when using a file system fuzzer.
1042 * Fix e2fsck so it does not try to write back block group descriptors
1043 if they have not been modified.
1044 * The mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last
1045 flex_bg so they are contiguous. This reduces free space
1046 fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing
1047 mke2fs commands which request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.

1050 * Fix a 32/64-bit overflow bug that could cause resize2fs to loop
1052 * Reduce the memory consumption of resize2fs for very large file
1054 * Fix a bug that could cause resize2fs to create a corrupted file
1055 system when shrinking a very large file system (typically > 16TB)
1056 that had been previously grown using resize2fs. (Closes: #756922)
1057 * Fix tune2fs updating UUID's when manipulating file systems with
1058 external journals (both the file system and journal UUID).
1059 * Fix tune2fs so it can remove an external journal for file systems
1060 with a 1k block size.
1061 * Add a new debugfs command, "inode_dump", which prints the inode in

1098 controlled via a mke2fs.conf configuration parameter.
1099 * Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file
1100 system with bigalloc enabled. (Closes: #744953)
1101 * Fix mke2fs so it more correctly handles large flex_bg counts
1102 * Mke2fs will check the kernel version number and not just the sysfs
1103 feature flag to determine whether it is safe to enable lazy
1104 inode table initialization, so it won't get faked out if the ext4 is
1105 compiled as a module which hasn't happened to be loaded yet.

1149 missing quota records could be not noticed
1150 * Fix mke2fs so if packed metadata blocks are enabled that the block
1151 group checksum are set correctly

1153 * Tune2fs will allow removal of dirty journal with two "-f" options
1155 * Fixed some off-line resize2fs bugs when relocating metadata blocks
1156 when growing or shrinking bigalloc file systems

1161 file system to a very very small size
1162 * Fixed e4defrag to work with 64-bit and bigalloc file systems
1163 * Fixed e2fsck to not issue a large number of very scary (but
1164 harmless) corruption messages when checking very large file systems
1165 when the file system has more inodes than the number of seconds
1166 since January 1, 1970.

1172 feature when creating a file system > 16TB when the fs size was
1173 determined automatically. It will now also do the right thing when
1174 the user explicitly specifies the file system size.

1395 e2fsprogs (1.42.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
1397 * New upstream version
1398 * Mark the e2fsprogs package as Multi-Arch: foreign, so if a package
1399 foo:i386 depends on e2fsprogs and is installed on an amd64 system,
1400 the native e2fsprogs will satisfy the dependency. (Closes: #678395)
1401 * Fix a fd leak which could cause logsave (and hence a boot-time rc
1402 init script) to hang (Closes: #682592)
1403 * Fix a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
1404 read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
1405 superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
1406 to check the file system after every single boot
1407 * Fixed filefrag so it would not seg fault on virtual filesystems such
1408 as /proc: e.g., "filefrag /proc/partitions"
1409 * Fix filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents
1410 * Fixed a bug which caused "mke2fs -N 256 -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m"
1411 to write blocks out until /tmp filled
1412 * Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names
1413 * Change e2fsck so it will allow file systems mounted read-only to be
1414 checked with the -f option.
1415 * Fix e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an
1416 error if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
1417 * Fix tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when
1418 the last quota inode is removed.
1419 * Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap
1420 is updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs
1422 * Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
1423 quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
1424 files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
1425 e2fsck doesn't complain.
1426 * The e4defrag program now allows device symlinks, such as
1427 /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on less
1428 human-friendly names such as /dev/dm-2
1429 * Updated/fixed various man pages (Closes: #680114)

1505 * Teach mke2fs to use direct I/O if the -D option is given
1506 * Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so
1507 we can more easily diagnose memory allocation failures caused by
1508 insufficient memory and abort on memory allocation failures

1510 problems that were found and fixed directly.
1511 * E2fsck can now limit the number of messages issued and printed on
1513 * The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which
1514 cause them to use much less memory for large file systems.
1515 * E2fsck will now check for zero-length extents, since older kernels will

1814 accidentally tries to run e2fsck on the snapshot volume (Closes: #587531)
1815 * Fix a big in e2fsck so it correct test for whether the EOFBLOCKS_FL
1816 flag should be set or not.
1817 * Tune2fs can now set uninit_bg without requiring an fsck afterwards
1818 * Add support for the new ext4 default mount options added in 2.6.35
1819 * Add support for the ext4 error tracking superblock fields added in 2.6.36
1820 * Debugfs now uses a more concise format for listing extents in its
1822 * Debugfs can now use direct I/O to access the file system with the -D option
1823 * Mke2fs will skip initializing the inode table if a device supports
1824 discard and the discard operation results in zero'ed blocks
1825 * Mke2fs's handling of logical and physical sector sizes has been
1826 significantly improved.
1827 * Debugfs will correctly show the progress bar even when UTF-8
1828 characters are used in its translation files (Closes: #583782, #587834)
1829 * E2freefrag will now display the total number of free extents.
1830 * Resize2fs -P now longer requires a freshly checked file system
1831 * Fixed a floating point precision error that can cause segfaults in
1832 e2fsck and resize2fs in extremely rare cases
1833 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to fail if both the original
1834 and backup superblocks were invalid in some way
1835 * Fixed a bug in e2freefrag which caused getopt parsing to fail on
1836 architectures with unsigned chars
1837 * Clarified mke2fs and e2fsck error messages when given incorrect
1838 options/values by the user

1856 * The resize2fs program will refuse to print the minimum size needed
1857 for a file system if it is not clean.
1858 * E2fsck now tests for extents that begin at physical block 0 and
1859 rejects them as invalid.
1860 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to
1861 remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded.
1862 * E2fsck will now completely skip time-based checks if the system
1863 clock looks insane or if the broken_system_clock option is set
1864 in /etc/e2fsck.conf. (Closes: #549861, #540152)
1865 * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused e2fsck to complain about i_blocks
1866 with a 4T file created using posix_fallocate()
1867 * E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will
1868 delete and recreate the journal to address the problem.
1869 * Fixed e2fsck not to ask permission from the user to abort if it's
1870 going to abort regardless of what the user is going to say...
1871 * E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize inode
1872 * E2fsck will now avoid removing directory entries for inodes found in
1873 the unused region of the inode table until after it restarts the fs
1874 check to avoid removing valid data.
1875 * E2fsck will now longer try to set the block group checksums if it
1877 * Mke2fs will check both the physical and logical blocksizes of a
1878 device to better support 4k sector drives.
1879 * Mke2fs will accept the valid (but rarely useful) flex_bg size of 1
1880 * E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is
1881 not needed, and offer to clear it.
1882 * The com_err library will now only output a CR character if the
1883 stderr is connected to a tty in raw mode.
1884 * Update Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish,
1885 and Vietnamese translations (from the Translation Project)
1886 * Add an fsck.ext4 symlink in the e2fsprogs-udeb package (Closes: #571247)

1895 * Allow e2fsck to run even if the physical device has more than 2**32 blocks
1896 * Debugfs's "logdump -b <blk>" now properly shows the allocation status
1897 of the block <blk>. (Closes: #564084)
1898 * Make e2fsck's "the filesystem is mounted" message is now more scary
1899 to hopefully dissuade users from thinking, "surely that message
1900 doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
1901 * e2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
1902 disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
1903 exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
1904 smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and
1905 "-n -D" are no longer supported.
1906 * If the partition is badly aligned, have mke2fs just print a warning
1907 message and continue. Previously mke2fs would ask to confirm, and
1908 this broke distro installation scripts.
1909 * Fix a bug in libext2fs caused the creation of very large journals
1910 for ext4 to be _very_ slow.
1911 * E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in
1912 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately
1913 fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size.
1914 * Fix a bug in e2fsck which could cause e2fsck -D to corrupt
1915 non-indexed directories. (Closes: #572453)

1928 * Add new e2fsck.conf configuration option:
1929 default/broken_system_clock for system with broken CMOS hardware
1930 clocks. (Closes: #559776)
1931 * Fix flex_bg inode table placement algorithm used by mke2fs for

1934 * Fix FTBFS problem caused by texi2html changing (again) its output
1935 location. (Closes: #552934)
1936 * Make e2fsck to avoid rehashing directories which can fit in a
1937 single directory block.
1938 * Fix how e2fsck fixes sparse directories which are extent-mapped.
1939 * Fix some big-endian bugs in e2fsck and libext2fs
1940 * Teach e2fsck to detect and fix sparse extent-mapped directories
1941 * Fix filefrag from core dumping on file systems with 8k block sizes
1942 * E2fsck was depending on i_size to be correct to detect and fix
1943 certain directory problems before actually fixing the
1944 directory's i_size. This caused certain rare corruptions to
1945 require two runs of e2fsck to address.
1946 * Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations
1947 (from the Translation Project)
1948 * Fix e2fsck to find and correct duplicate directory entries in
1949 non-indexed directories.
1950 * Add support for calling BLKDISCARD to mke2fs.
1951 * Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19
1952 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on
1954 * Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external journals
1955 * Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline
1956 library which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function.
1957 * Add a pre-depends for util-linux-ng (Closes: #551795)
1958 * Update and clarify various man pages.
1959 * Corrected dumpe2fs's usage message
1960 * Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field
1961 when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
1962 have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
1963 * Change e2fsck to accept superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
1964 hours by default. Most distributions have fixed their init scripts,
1965 but apparently now they have buggy virtualization scripts. :-( I
1966 give up, too many buggy user space set ups out there. (Closes: #557636)
1967 * Fix e2fsck to correctly print > 32-bit i_blocks numbers in problem reports
1968 * Improve e2fsck so it prints "Illegal indirect block" instead of
1970 * Teach mke2fs to get device topology information from blkid and use
1971 it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes and warn if
1972 the block device is misaligned

1975 * Round up the bitmap size to prevent spurious segmentation faults on
1977 * Fix resize2fs to correctly calculate the minimum size needed, when
1978 flex_bg is enabled, to prevent resize2fs -M from failing.
1979 * Dumpe2fs now displays more information about the contents of the journal
1980 * Make sure the libblkid1 and libblkid1-dbg packages have changelogs
1981 * On low memory systems, e2fsck can print some very scary looking
1982 error messages. Clean up them up to avoid user panic. (Closes: #509529)

1996 * Require the user to only answer one question instead of multiple
1997 ones for multiple bad block group checksums, or when an inode
1998 table needs to be moved.
1999 * Fix e2fsck to handle moving inode tables in FLEX_BG filesystems more
2000 gracefully by looking in the entire flex_bg for space, instead of
2001 just in the block group; if that doesn't work, try looking for
2002 space in the entire filesystem.
2003 * Fix the filefrag code to avoid printing the extent header if it
2004 needs to fallback to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
2005 * Fix filefrag to print the correct number of extents for zero-length
2006 files when using FIBMAP. (Closes: #540376)
2007 * Add a filefrag -B option to make it easier to debug the FIBMAP
2009 * Allow e2fsprogs programs to allocate from uninitialized block groups.
2010 * Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
2011 free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
2012 * E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount
2013 time or last written time is in the future, since most people can't
2014 seem to believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they
2015 have a failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.

2017 Translation Project.
2018 * Enhance debugfs's 'stat' command to print basic extent information

2065 * Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write
2066 uninitialized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
2067 bytes when operating on extents; potentially corrupting filesystems.

2222 filesystems with 32-bit block numbers. This was accidentally broken
2223 when the header files were changed to support the 64-bit block numbers.
2224 * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
2225 when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
2226 moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being
2227 correctly freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable,

2238 the each block group's portion inode table is located in its own
2240 * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
2241 for RAID storage devices.
2242 * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be
2243 specified for the new filesystem.
2244 * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB
2245 minus one block, since many users expect ext4 to support 16TB
2246 devices, and the true maximum size is 16TB-1.

2667 full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
2668 from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
2669 * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
2670 UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
2671 do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
2672 started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
2673 packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
2674 the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
2675 part of the e2fsprogs package).
2676 * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
2677 lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
2678 for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
2679 filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).

2681 characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the
2683 * Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs
2684 * Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the
2685 Translation Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice
2686 of the Translation Project.
2687 * Fix cross-compilation support for non-Linux architectures
2688 (Closes: #451172, #437720)

2691 invalid FAT filesystem.

2693 error code is passed to it.

2695 TLS and hence will run correctly on back-level Debian systems
2696 using a 2.4 Linux kernel. (Closes: #458017)

3986 #120171, #120077, #129828, #132764).
3987 ** Fixes for data-corruption bugs not reported to the BTS: e2fsck
3988 trashed external journals needing to be replayed, e2fsck now hides
3989 visible journal files (data corruption problems when not excluded from
3990 a backup and then restored) (Closes: #132654).
3991 ** Other noticeable bugs fixed include: e2fsck null pointer

3993 largefile support (ie. dealing with filesystems inside 2GB+ files) was
3994 broken in several programs.
